The Center produces public
exhibits on land use themes and issues for galleries
and museums, and for exhibition in CLUI spaces
in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Regional exhibits
focus on land use within a defined geographic
area, such as a state or neighborhood. Thematic
exhibits are usually national in scope, and examine
a particular land use phenomena or issue.
The Center conducts
guided tours for public and private groups. Usually
these tours are led by the CLUI on video-equipped
buses, as part of a CLUI Exhibition Program. The
Center can be commissioned to conduct specialized
tours for educational organizations, if scheduling
permits.
The Independent
Interpreters program is an ongoing series of presentations
by selected artist and researchers whose work
might be of special interest to the CLUI audience.
These presentations are in the form of an evening
lecture with slides or films, or as an exhibition
of material, and sometimes both.
The Center engages
in a number of interpretive projects in the field
that are designed to draw meaning from land use
sites and phenomena. Many of these projects represent
extensions of traditional interpretive techniques,
and are designed to expand the methodology into
new fronts.
Thematic Program
Areas are subject categrories that have been selected
for extended research and examination by the CLUI.
Selected themes are studied in an ongoing manner,
with findings periodically presented to the public
in the form of publications, lectures, exhibits,
or other programs.
The Center operates a residence
program to support the development of new interpretive
methodologies and ideas. The program is open to
artists, researchers, theorists, or anyone who
works with land and land use issues in an innovative
and engaging manner. Residents primarily work
out of the CLUI facilities at Wendover, Utah,
and explore and interpret the landscape of that
remarkable desert region.
The Center publishes guidebooks,
catalogs, and other books addressing land use
issues. These publications, as well as selected
titles from other publishers, are available through
the CLUI store in Los Angeles and at our online
shop. The Center also publishes a newsletter,
The Lay of the Land, which is distributed to interested
parties worldwide.
